Cool DCIM

CyberHub ECO.DC– Stulz

DCIM as a software category first emerged around 2010, hoping to take advantage of the increasing number of sensors in a typical data center in order to monitor and tweak the operating parameters of the facility. DCIM links those operating parameters - like space, power and cooling - to IT management, with its servers and virtual machines.

With the release of CyberHub ECO.DC, Stulz joins a growing number of power and cooling vendors that have started developing software for data centers - prior examples include Schneider Electric, Vertiv (formerly Emerson Network Power), Geist, Panduit and ABB.

Coming from Stulz, CyberHub places special emphasis on thermal management and air flow. It supports a wide range of protocols used in data centers and building management systems, like Modbus, Meter-Bus and SNMP.

It also promises simple deployment and operation - according to the company, a single engineer can install and set up the software on their own in just a few hours. The software has been optimized for multiple device types and screen sizes, so it can be used comfortably on a phone or a tablet.

CyberHub ECO.DC is available in a fully autonomous local server version, or as a cloud service hosted in Germany - a country famous for its strict attitudes to data privacy and security.
